Recipes : Greek tzatziki

Hey there again :) 

We need to spread further the greek spirit and tradition so today i made greek tzatziki ( it's not usually served on New Year's Eve or something ) but i like it a lot and felt great to make it in Norway :)

It's super simple and fast to make and the taste will make you crazy huhuhuhuhu

Enough said. Let's get started.

You will need :

• 1 large cucumber
• 1\2 kg greek yogurt
• 1 big spoon of salt ( or more )
• 4-5 pieces of garlic
• 1 spoon of vinegar
• olive oil ( i used 1/2 cup or less - depending on how thick the yogurt is)

Process 

• Peel out every piece of garlic , and cut each one in two pieces so you can remove the central part of it ( if you don't then you will smell like garlic forever ahahahahahah )

• Use a proper thing to smash them and then use a small hand mixer to make a mixture of the smashed garlic and salt.

• Then take the cucumber , wash it but DON'T PEEL IT OUT . Cut of the two ends and also cut it in the middle . Then cut each one of those pieces in the middle too so you will have four pieces .

• Using a spoon , remove all the central part of cucumber ( seeds and soft flesh of it ) of all the pieces ( we do it because we don't want all this water in our tzatziki .

• Right after chop the cucumber in smaller pieces and put it in a blender. Don't chop it for more than a minute otherwise it will be like cream and we don't want it . We need the format to be just tiny pieces.

• Take a big bowl , add 500 gr of greek yogurt and pour in the cucumber . Use a spoon to stir it . When the mixture is smooth enough , add the rest ingredients ( oil , vinegar , salt and garlic ) , stir it enough and BOOOOM ! It's ready .

You can use it as a sause for your meat or salad , or even eat it with crackers or bread. It's the ultimate greek taste and we love it <3

Bon appetite :)
